Another Sunday where I did not get up early... sooner or later I will have to learn this lesson. Hot, 94 and steamy. Did the half trail and half bike path again. My oldest daughter graduated yesterday. I had trouble when the video of the old pictures went by. I am very proud of her and she is a GREAT kid. adult. Kid. Yes kid. We have a wonderful relationship and never suffered any of the 'teen' issues most people complain about. I believe this is because of the relationship with God she has and partly the home school development. There were 37 home school kids at the graduation ceremony, it was quite moving. These are the most outgoing kids you will see... so much for stereotypes.  

So yeah, I spent my run in the heat, sweating... yet just lost in thought... it was good.

She'll probably still be your "kid" even when she's 50. Congrats to you both!

What a wonderful relationship you have with your daughter. I know exactly how you feel! Callie (my daughter) is home for a few days and I am just cherishing the time with her. It is so beautiful to see the life of a God centered young person!

IJR- exactly.
